After trying several different types of storage ideas I am really happy with this idea I came up with.
I am a scrapbook paper junkie. I can't walk out of the scrapbook store without at least one sheet of that paper with the great designs on it!
But it became a problem to store all the paper and be able to see all of them in a way that allowed me to choose the right paper to go with my scrapbook page layout.
So I bought this cart at an office supply store. It's the perfect size for 12x12 paper. It comes folded up and when opened it locks into place and has a handle that you can raise high enough to stand and pull......since it also has wheels! Wheels are a great plus to me because I live in a very small house and don't have a specific room for my crafts. With this cart I can move it where ever I need to work comfortably. And it has a lid so when I'm not using it I can put the lid on and sit items on top and the paper doesn't get smashed. It's a good sturdy cart capable of holding 70lbs.
I sorted all my papers by colors and patterns and then took large folders and cut them to fit and labeled each one by the color and pattern. Then placed the papers in-between each folder. THEN, there was still some room in the cart, so I took an accordion folder and labeled each space the same as I had the folders before. In this smaller accordion folder I put all the scraps of papers. Then put it in the front of the cart.

Now I can easily see all my papers and easily get them out to use and have the scrap pieces to match for my layouts!
Now, does anyone have ideas on a good way to store all my stickers? I'm also a sticker junkie!
